11.1 General
If a player does not start a tournament then all bets on that player will be void

11.2 Tournament match betting (i.e. 72 hole match bets)
If a player withdraws without playing a stroke all bets on the relevant market will be void.

Dustin Johnson withdraws from the tournament that already started

Betfair disregared 11.2

What should i do? write a claim to MGA?

Not sure what your point is here.

He withdrew without playing a shot and they voided the market.

I mean they must void/cancel All market and not only bets on Jonson

11.2 refers to tournament match bets. In other words, head2head markets like Johnson v Spieth, or Johnson v McIlroy etc. In those cases, the whole market is void if a player doesn't start.

But for outright markets, it's only bets on that player which are void (so 11.1 applies but not 11.2).

What? Lol) TOURNAMENT!
rules must be clear, whithout double-handing. head-to-head means players against players, so it 11.5
there is no one word in 11.2 about head-to-head markets. there are no logical and legal arguments in your words. word tournament means whole tournament but no what you means "in other words"

A tournament match bet is a head to head market. The rules are perfectly clear, you were settled correctly with a loss. Very unlucky, but Betfair have done nothing wrong. You can't cancel the outright market because one player withdraws. If you want to lay the field stick to horses where you are protected with the reduction factor.

Malta Gaming Authority - well known for only being interested in the answer to the question "Have you paid our fees yet". So given that OP has absolutely no grounds for complaint, I can't think of a bigger waste of time than contacting them.
